Rail Freight: Wales and the Borders

Rail Freight: Wales and the Borders

The changes to rail freight in Wales and the Borders since the 1980s have been dramatic and often the result of huge transformations in the industries that the railway serves, most notably, the coal-mining sector. These have led to a railway with a slimmed-down infrastructure and renewed traction and rolling-stock fleets.

Illustrated with over 150 photographs, this volume reviews the changing face of rail freight in Wales and the Borders, detailing the changes in traction, rolling stock and railway infrastructure over four decades.
